Definitions
- This invention relates to compounds and compositions that are p38 MAPK inhibitors, useful as anti-inflammatory agents in the treatment of, inter alia, diseases of the respiratory tract.
- Mitogen activated protein kinases constitute a family of proline-directed serine/threonine kinases that activate their substrates by dual phosphorylation. There are four known human isoforms of p38 MAP kinase, ⁇ 38 ⁇ , ⁇ 38 ⁇ , ⁇ 38 ⁇ and ⁇ 38 ⁇ .
- the p38 kinases which are also known as cytokine suppressive anti-inflammatory drug binding proteins (CSBP), stress activated protein kinases (SAPK) and RK, are responsible for
- IL-1 and TNFa are also known to stimulate the production of other proinflammatory cytokines such as IL-6 and IL-8.
- IL-1 and TNFa are biological substances produced by a variety of cells, such as
- IL-1 has been demonstrated to mediate a variety of biological activities thought to be important in immunoregulation and other physiological conditions such as inflammation (e.g. Dinarello et al., Rev. Infect. Disease, 1984, 6, 51).
- Excessive or unregulated TNF production has been implicated in mediating or exacerbating a number of diseases, and it is believed that TNF can cause or contribute to
- IL-8 is a chemotactic factor produced by several cell types including mononuclear cells, fibroblasts, endothelial cells, and keratinocytes. Its production from endothelial cells is induced by IL-1, TNF, or lipopolysaccharide (LPS). IL-8 stimulates a number of functions in vitro. It has been shown to have chemoattractant properties for neutrophils, T-lymphocytes and basophils. Increase in IL-8 production is also responsible for chemotaxis of neutrophils into the inflammatory site in vivo.
- Inhibition of signal transduction via p38 which in addition to IL-1, TNF and IL-8 described above is also required for the synthesis and/or action of several additional pro-inflammatory proteins (e.g., IL-6, GM-CSF, COX-2, collagenase and stromelysin), is expected to be a highly effective mechanism for regulating the excessive and destructive activation of the immune system. This expectation is supported by the potent and diverse anti- inflammatory activities described for p38 kinase inhibitors (Badger et al, J. Pharm. Exp. Thera., 1996, 279, 1453 - 1461; Griswold et a/, Pharmacol. Comm.,1996, 7, 323-229).
- p38 kinase inhibitors have been described as potential agents for treating rheumatoid arthritis.
- Stress stimuli including tobacco smoke, infections or oxidative products
- Inhibitors of p38 have been shown to inhibit LPS and ovalbumin induced airway TNF-a, IL- ⁇ , IL-6, IL-4, IL-5 and IL-13 (Haddad et al, Br. J. Pharmacol, 2001, 132 (8), 1715-1724; Underwood et al, Am. J. Physiol.

- TNF chronic release of active TNF can cause cachexia and anorexia, and TNF can be lethal.
- TNF has also been implicated in infectious diseases. These include, for example, malaria, mycobacterial infection and meningitis. These also include viral infections, such as HIV, influenza virus, and herpes virus, including herpes simplex virus type-1, herpes simplex virus type-2, cytomegalovirus, varicella-zoster virus, Epstein-Barr virus, human herpes virus-6, human herpesvirus-7, human herpesvirus-8, pseudorabies and rhino- tracheitis, among others.

- P38 kinase inhibitors have been reviewed by G. J. Hanson (Expert Opinions on Therapeutic Patents, 1997, 7, 729-733) J Hynes et al. (Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2005, 5, 967-985), C. Dominguez et al (Expert Opinions on Therapeutics Patents, 2005, 15, 801-816) and L. H. Pettus & R. P. Wurtz (Current Topics in Medicinal Chemistry, 2008, 8, 1452-1467).
- P38 kinase inhibitors are known, for example WO2014/195400 and WO 2013/083604. Like the known compounds, the present compounds are useful for the treatment of diseases of the respiratory tract. However, the present compounds have the unexpected advantage of a higher potency, maintaining a good anti- inflammatory activity.
- Another object of the invention is to identify novel potent p38 mitogen activated protein kinase inhibitors which show an appropriate developability profile on inhalatory administration to effectively treat respiratory obstructive or inflammatory diseases. It is to be understood that such profile may be achieved in a number of different ways by modulation of specific properties; by way of example, it could be achieved by administration of a low effective dose of the drug thus limiting side effects or via a long duration of action in the lungs which may reduce the frequency of administration.
- the compounds of the invention are inhibitors of p38 mitogen activated protein kinase ("p38 MAPK”, “p38 kinase” or “p38”), including p38a kinase, and are inhibitors of cytokine and chemokine production including TNFa and IL-8 production. They have a number of therapeutic applications, in the treatment of inflammatory diseases, particularly allergic and non-allergic airways diseases, more particularly obstructive or inflammatory airways diseases such as chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and asthma. They are therefore particularly suited for pulmonary delivery, by inhalation by nose or mouth.

- Kinase reactions consisted of 25 mM HEPES pH 7.5, 10 mM MgCl 2 , 100 ⁇ Na 3 V0 4 , 2 mM DTT, 0.05 mg/ml Tween 20, ⁇ p38alpha (Invitrogen, PV3304), 1% DMSO and 0.3 ⁇ ATF-2 fusion protein (New England Bio labs, 9224).
- Compounds were incubated under these conditions for 2 hours, at 25°C, prior to the initiation of the kinase activity by the addition of the 250 ⁇ ATP. Reaction volumes were 20 uL.
- the compounds of the invention show p38a potencies (IC50 values) ⁇ 5 nM
- PBMCs Peripheral Blood Mononuclear Cells
- a dose response curve to each test compound was performed and the effect of compound in each experiment was expressed as a percentage inhibition of the control TNFa release. Dose response curves were plotted and compound potency (IC50) was determined. Compounds were tested in at least three separate experiments.
- the compounds of the invention show human PBMC potencies (IC50 values) ⁇ 2 nM.
- the BEAS-2B cells are Bronchial Epithelial cells and it is known in the literature that this cell line releases IL-8 upon stimulation with TNFa (Chmura K, Bai X, Nakamura M, Kandasamy P, McGibney M, Kuronuma K, Mitsuzawa H, Voelker DR, Chan ED. Am J Physiol Lung Cell Mol Physiol. 2008;295(l):L220-30; King EM, Holden NS, Gong W, Rider CF, Newton R. J Biol Chem. 2009;284(39):26803-15; Carta S, Silvestri M, and Giovanni A Ital J Pediatr.
- BEAS-2B Human bronchial epithelial cell line BEAS-2B was purchased from Sigma (St. Louis, MO).
- BEAS-2B cells were cultured in Bronchial Epithelial cell Growth Medium (BEGM), prepared by supplementing Bronchial Epithelial Basal Medium with SingleQuotesTM (Lonza, Switzerland), which contains retinoic acid, epidermal growth factor, epinephrine, transferrin, triiodothyronin, insulin, hydrocortisone, antimicrobial agents, and bovine pituitary extract.
- BEGM medium was supplemented with 2 mM glutamine, 100 U penicillin and 100 ⁇ g/ml streptomycin (Life Technologies), in an atmosphere of 95% air and 5% C02 at 37°C.
- BEAS-2B were seeded in 48-well plates at the density of 3x104 cells per well, grown to approximately 80-90% confluence.
- Cells were pre-incubated with p38 inhibitors for 1 hour and then stimulated with TNF-a (10 ng/ml) for 18 h at 37°C with 5% C02. Subsequently, supernatants were collected and used for measuring IL-8 levels using a paired antibody quantitative ELISA kit purchased from Life Technologies (detection limit: 5 pg/ml). All the treatments were performed at least in quadruplicate.
- the compounds of the invention show BEAS-2B potencies (IC50 values) ⁇ 0.8 nM.
